Alice Survant Davis

Born August 19, 1917 in Thorndale, Texas to Ervin P. and Nora Beard Survant, Alice Survant Davis took her final trip into the waiting arms of her Savior on July 6, 2008 surrounded by her surviving children in the home she shared with her daughter, Ann Davis, in Carrollton, Texas. She also is survived by her son, Hardie Davis and his wife Jane of Kingwood, Texas, five grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Angus Davis, in 1970 and her son, Don Davis in 1999. She also was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, Ervin, Frank and Bill Survant, and three sisters, Neva Unangst, Nina McConnell, and Glorice Green. She instilled the importance of family and love of family to all she came in contact with as exhibited by the successful efforts made by her grandchildren to see their “Granny” in the weeks before her death. Her grandchildren and spouses include Derek and Ana Davis, Lesli and Judson Mallard, and Douglas and Heather Davis, all of Athens, Georgia; and Ben and Missy Davis of Weatherford, Texas and Jill and Glen Patton, of College Station, Texas. A resident of Dallas County for almost 50 years, she was a member of Christ United Methodist Church in Farmers Branch, Texas.
